When using "Quick Look" in Finder images load very slow

Hi All,


I started with the daunting task of sorting and organizing all my old photo's. When using Finder I prefer to use the "quick look" function to quickly open and view a photo. After starting my MacBook everything works fine, but after about 10 minutes the images start to load very slowly. I have searched the web for suggestions but so far the only remedy is to reboot my MacBook. After rebooting it works fine for about 10 minutes and then it starts to slow down again. Any suggestions?


A suggestion was to force quit Finder, but that doesn't work for me. My specs: 2017 MacBook Pro, Catalina 10.15.3 and no other programs running.


Hope you can help! Thanks for your replies!

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

OK, thanks, delete this file & restart...


~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.synology.CloudStationDrive.plist


~ tilde indicates hidden Home Library.

Apple hid the Users' Library folders...


Method 1:

  1. From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.
  2. In the window that opens, enter ~/Library/LaunchAgents, and click Go.

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
